Narrator
00:01:56
With the coming of the Second World War many eyes in imprisoned Europe turned hopefully, or desperately, toward the freedom of the Americas. Lisbon became the great embarkation point. But not everybody could get to Lisbon directly. And so a torturous, roundabout refugee trail sprang up. Paris to Marseilles across the Mediterranean to Oran. Then, by train or auto or foot, across the rim of Africa to Casablanca in French Morocco. Here, the fortunate ones, through money or influence or luck might obtain exit visas and scurry to Lisbon. And from Lisbon to the New World. But the others wait in Casablanca. And wait and wait and wait.

To all officers: Two German couriers carrying important official documents murdered on train from Oran. Murderer and possible accomplices headed for Casablanca. Round up all suspicious characters and search them for stolen document. Important.

May I present Captain Renault, police prefect of Casablanca. Major Strasser.
Captain Louis Renault
00:05:48
Unoccupied France welcomes you to Casablanca.
Captain Louis Renault
00:06:05
You may find the climate of Casablanca a trifle warm.
Refugee at Rick's
00:07:32
Waiting, waiting, waiting. I'll never get out of here. I'll die in Casablanca.
German Officer

[SPEAKING IN GERMAN] Casablanca.
Ugarte
00:10:08
Oh, nothing. But when you first came to Casablanca, I thought...
Ugarte
00:11:19
Well, after tonight I will be through with the whole business. And I'm leaving, finally, this Casablanca.
Ugarte
00:11:46
Myself. I found myself much more reasonable. Look, Rick. Know what this is? Something that even you have never seen. Letters of transit signed by General de Gaulle. Cannot be rescinded. Not even questioned. One moment. Tonight I'll be selling those for more money than even I have ever dreamed of. And then, addio, Casablanca. You know Rick, I have many a friend in Casablanca, but somehow, just because you despise me, you are the only one I trust. Will you keep these for me, please?

Signor Ferrari
00:14:14
Too bad. That's Casablanca's leading commodity. In refugees alone we could make a fortune if you'd work with me through the black market.
Captain Louis Renault
00:16:53
And what in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?
Rick Blaine
00:16:55
My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.
Rick Blaine
00:18:09
I see. And what's Strasser doing here? He certainly didn't come all the way to Casablanca to witness a demonstration of your efficiency.
Captain Louis Renault
00:18:40
That is another reason. There is a man arrived in Casablanca on his way to America. He will offer a fortune to anyone who'll furnish an exit visa.
Captain Louis Renault
00:19:00
It's my duty to see that he doesn't impress the other half. Rick, Laszlo must never reach America. He stays in Casablanca.
Captain Louis Renault
00:19:39
I think not. I've seen the lady. And if he did not leave her in Marseilles or Oran, he certainly won't leave her in Casablanca.
Captain Louis Renault
00:20:31
My dear Ricky, you overestimate the influence of the Gestapo. I don't interfere with them, and they don't interfere with me. In Casablanca, I am master of my fate. I am...
Major Heinrich Strasser
00:24:34
You will forgive my curiosity, Mr. Blaine. The point is an enemy of the Reich has come to Casablanca, and we are checking up on anybody who can be of any help to us.
Captain Louis Renault
00:26:55
Merely to welcome you to Casablanca and wish you a pleasant stay. It isn't often we have so distinguished a visitor.
Captain Louis Renault
00:27:13
I was informed you were the most beautiful woman ever to visit Casablanca. That was a gross understatement.
Victor Laszlo
00:33:59
One hears a great deal about Rick in Casablanca.
Captain Louis Renault
00:35:01
So it is. And we have a curfew here in Casablanca. It would never do for the chief of police to be found drinking after hours and have to fine himself.
Rick Blaine
00:37:32
If it's December 1941 in Casablanca, what time is it in New York?
Rick Blaine
00:48:40
Especially tonight. Why did you have to come to Casablanca? There are other places.
Captain Louis Renault
00:51:46
Strange. Nobody's supposed to sleep well in Casablanca.
Major Heinrich Strasser
00:52:02
Laszlo, we will not mince words. You're an escaped prisoner of the Reich. So far you have been fortunate in eluding us. You have reached Casablanca. It is my duty to see that you stay in Casablanca.
Major Heinrich Strasser
00:52:04
Laszlo, we will not mince words. You're an escaped prisoner of the Reich. So far you have been fortunate in eluding us. You have reached Casablanca. It is my duty to see that you stay in Casablanca.
Victor Laszlo
00:52:17
Well, perhaps I shall like it in Casablanca.
Major Heinrich Strasser
00:52:28
Don't be in such a hurry. You have all the time in the world. You may be in Casablanca indefinitely. Or you may leave for Lisbon tomorrow. On one condition.
Ilsa Lund
00:57:41
Last night I saw what has happened to you. The Rick I knew in Paris, I could tell him, he'd understand. But the one who looked at me with such hatred... I'll be leaving Casablanca soon. We'll never see each other again. We knew very little about each other when we were in love in Paris. If we leave it that way, maybe we'll remember those days and not Casablanca. Not last night.

Signor Ferrari
00:58:44
As leader of all illegal activities in Casablanca, I am influential and respected. But it would not be worth my life to do anything for Monsieur Laszlo. You, however, are a different matter.
Signor Ferrari
00:59:07
Might as well be frank, monsieur. It would take a miracle to get you out of Casablanca. The Germans have outlawed miracles.
Ilsa Lund
01:00:58
Goodbye. Thank you for your coffee. I shall miss that when we leave Casablanca.
Major Heinrich Strasser
01:03:38
We are concerned about more than Casablanca. We know that every French province in Africa is honeycombed with traitors. Waiting for their chance. Waiting perhaps for a leader.
Rick Blaine
01:07:11
Yes, well, everybody in Casablanca has problems. Yours may work out. You'll excuse me.
Victor Laszlo
01:11:06
You must know it's very important I get out of Casablanca. It's my privilege to be one of the leaders of a great movement. You know what I've been doing. You know what it means to the work, to the lives of thousands and thousands of people that I reach America and continue my work.
Major Heinrich Strasser
01:14:09
See what I mean? If Laszlo's presence in a café can inspire this unfortunate demonstration, what more will his presence in Casablanca bring on? I advise that this place be shut up at once.
Major Heinrich Strasser
01:14:50
Mademoiselle, after this disturbance, it is not safe for Laszlo to stay in Casablanca.
Ilsa Lund
01:14:54
This morning you implied it was not safe for him to leave Casablanca.
Major Heinrich Strasser
01:15:17
My dear mademoiselle, perhaps you have already observed that in Casablanca, human life is cheap. Good night, mademoiselle.
Ilsa Lund
01:21:20
You want to feel sorry for yourself, don't you? With so much at stake, all you can think of is your own feelings. One woman has hurt you, and you take your revenge on the rest of the world. You're a coward and a weakling. No. Oh, Richard. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but you are our last hope. If you don't help us, Victor Laszlo will die in Casablanca.
Rick Blaine
01:21:23
What of it? I'm going to die in Casablanca. It's a good spot for it. Now, if you'll...
Victor Laszlo
01:28:21
I know a good deal more about you than you suspect. I know, for instance, that you're in love with a woman. It's perhaps a strange circumstance that we both should be in love with the same woman. The first evening I came here to this café, I knew there was something between you and Ilsa. Since no one is to blame, I demand no explanation. I ask only one thing. You won't give me the letters of transit. All right. But I want my wife to be safe. I ask you as a favor to use the letters to take her away from Casablanca.
Rick Blaine
01:29:46
You're not very subtle, but you are effective. I get the point. Yes, I have the letters. But I intend using them myself. I'm leaving Casablanca on tonight's plane. The last plane. And I'm taking a friend with me. One you'll appreciate.
Rick Blaine
01:30:18
I'm not. But I am interested in what happens to Ilsa and me. We have a legal right to go, that's true, but people have been held in Casablanca in spite of their legal rights.
Captain Louis Renault
01:31:15
Ricky, I'm gonna miss you. Apparently, you're the only one in Casablanca who has even less scruples than I.
Signor Ferrari
01:31:43
Ah, to get out of Casablanca and go to America... You're a lucky man.
Rick Blaine
01:37:11
We'll always have Paris. We didn't have... We'd lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night.
Captain Louis Renault
01:41:50
It might be a good idea for you to disappear from Casablanca for a while. There's a Free French garrison over at Brazzaville. I could be induced to arrange a passage.
